Helpful Posts: I passed the time waiting fruitlessly for the return of the small white by taking what was on offer.
First one is a close up of a common house fly at rest on a bay leaf. I know that the D0F is very shallow - it was not intended to have a sharp top to bottom of the head. Know about the moire too
Second is a hoverfly nosing at small jasmine flower.
The last is a geranium flower peeking out from underneath a hebe bush.

Re: No butterflies
Not too bad for killing time
The fly's eyes are fascinating. Well done.

Re: No butterflies
You have the important bits of the fly's head sharply focused so it doesn't matter if the more distant areas are fading into softness.
The hoverfly is Meliscaeva auricollis. Good to get an in flight shot.

Re: No butterflies
Good series, Bill. I am particularly fascinated by the jasmine shot one. I kinda like the processing of that -- ultra sharp but beautifully done. Just right. The hoverfly is the bonus. Nice processing on him (her?) too.
